[NEWSVINE: Storm From British Columbia Heads For Southland]
LOS ANGELES -- A storm originating in British Columbia headed for the Southland Wednesday and will likely bring rain and unseasonably cold temperatures beginning Thursday, the National Weather Service reported.

La Nina Ahead
The storm -- traveling over land and not over the relatively warm ocean waters -- will move down the California coast Wednesday and may bring some higher-elevation snow to the Southland on Thursday and Friday, the NWS reported.
According to the NWS, this system will be "almost unprecedented" in terms of cold and snow levels for September in southwestern California.
Snow levels will fall to between 5,500 and 6,000 feet on Friday, and many locations that day may set record low "maximum temperatures" more typically experienced in January.
The storm will be preceded by a deep marine layer that likely will create widespread drizzle late Wednesday and Thursday morning, along with some measurable light rain, especially in the foothill areas of the county.
Temperatures throughout the region will be 8- to 15-degrees below normal on Wednesday and Thursday.
Computer models show Friday to be the most active day for the storm system, which is expected to move east of the area late that night and early Saturday.
Except for the mountains and some desert areas, including the Antelope Valley, storm-related temperature drops on Thursday and Friday were not expected to be particularly steep.
Highs will be in the 70s pretty much everywhere in the Greater Los Angeles area.
